Do You Need Root To Flash Custom Recovery Through NVFlash? - T-Mobile LG G2x

I have a replacement G2x coming today in the mail and if it comes with 2.3.3 on it and I can't root it through superoneclick can I just flash CWM through NVFlash and then a custom ROM with root or do I need to root the current ROM to flash CWM through NVFlash? Thanks!

Nope, just flash recovery as you normally would, and install any ROM you'd like.

[Q] Just got Phone Need Advice!

ok So I just got my gx2 and i flashed it with NVFlash and got the clockwork boot installed. I did a back up of the original OS 2.3.3
My Question is this. Do i need to root it inorder to be able to install CM7 on it. Or can I get a prerooted 2.3.3 from somewhere?
Thank you for your help.
CM7 is already rooted, flash it via clockworkmod and Voila you have a rooted device. No root needed to flash things, just clockworkmod.

How to root and install CWM and flash ROM

I was wondering how to root my phone and flash it and install CWM and a rom, i have 2.2.1 firmware
Follow either guide in the first or second link in my signature to upgrade to rooted Ginderbread with CWM. If gou follow the second guide - Flash with bootloaders.
I also plan to root the CWM and flash ROM ...
If you have CWM you are rooted.
The second link in my signature will give you rooted Gingerbread 2.3.6 with CWM.
If you are currently on Froyo you have to FLASH BOOTLOADERS. After following the guide you will be able to flash a custom ROM.
Directions for flashing a custom ROM with CWM can be found in the first link in my signature. Find the section for flashing Custom ROM's.

[Q] wich CWM to flash custom Kernel

I'd like to flash a custom kernel on my rooted TF101 with latest ICS stock rom, but i've not installed a custom recovery.
I tougth to use Recovery Installer app to easily flash CWM (3.2.0.1).
The question is: can I flash a custom kernel (like this) with CWM 3.2.0.1 or do I need a more recent version of CWM (like 5.5.04)?
Another question... after flashing custom kernel, do I keep rooot permission?
thank you for your attention
3.2.0.1 cwm should work just fine

[Q] Root and custom recovery question

Hello? I was recently s-off, unlocked and using Adrenaline sense 6 lollipop rom.
Yesterday, I went back to stock 4.4.4 using the ruu file. I still have the s-off and unlocked.
Now my questions are..
1. Can I install custom recovery first then root by using supersu.zip file?
2. Or do I need to root first by weaksauce or something then get custom recovery?
You can go straight to installing a custom recovery. From there you can either flash the su binaries to achieve pure stock rooted rom or you could flash any one of the custom roms available which are pre-rooted.
